Product OverviewA Whole New Gaming Series for Casual Gaming PurposesCasual gaming is a term used for a form of playing video games where a gamer does not have a long-term commitment to a game and can approach playing the game on an infrequent and spontaneous basis.Casual video games have several distinguishing features. They are often web-based and are usually found on PC.

Optimised Thermal DesignWith the help of specially designed thermal pads for inductors; the heat between the key VCORE components of the motherboard can have a great balance and make the inductors much cooler. It is the secret of how TUF Z390 GAMING series motherboards could have such excellent overclocking performance.

Both the MOSFETs and inductors can reach appropriate temperatures due to the specially designed thermal pads, providing you with greater overclocking potential.

Enhanced EATX 8-Pin ConnectorSolid structured, harder and more durable pins for a longer plug and pull life span.

Higher Overclocking HeadroomASUS OptiMem II tech enhancements lead to more headroom for memory overclocking and improved compatibility over reference designs.

Reimagined from the Ground UpCarefully mapped memory signal pathways across different PCB layers reduce cross talk effect.Ground ring and ground plane help to fend off most of the external interference.Improved memory stability makes for better overclocking performance.

Intel EthernetTUF gaming series models feature the very latest Intel Ethernet for faster, smoother gaming – always. Intel’s LAN has the serious double advantage of reducing CPU overhead and offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput. This significantly reduces the processor’s workload, so there’s more power for your game and your gameplay!

AIO Pump HeaderFull control of PWM or DC water pumps, perfect for self-contained cooling setups.

Aura SyncA well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.

Q-InstallerASUS Q-installer SW provides automatic download and installation of drivers/SW for your TUF gaming motherboard. Choose just the options you want from a user-friendly interface and Q-installer will do the rest.

Protect Your Graphics Card InvestmentSafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-moulding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

ESD GuardESD guards prolong the life of components while preventing damage from electrostatic discharge, providing protection for up to +/- 10kV of air discharge and +/- 6kV of contact discharge – greatly surpassing the respective industry standards of +/- 6kV and +/- 4kKV.

DIGI+ VRMThe Digi+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times.

Stainless-Steel Back I/OTUF’s corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panels are bonded with chromium oxide – so they can endure a 72-hour salt spray test, compared to the industry standard of just 24 hours.
